What are some good websites for downloading old television shows?

Episodes of old television shows are available for download on the Internet Archive. Other services, such as Netflix and Hulu Plus, only have episodes of old shows available for streaming.

Internet Archive features a wide variety of old television shows available for downloaded, most of which are now in the public domain. The shows are available for download in different file formats, with options for specific clips or full episodes. Many services have old shows available for streaming, as opposed to download, as downloading is complicated in terms of copyright law. Some of these services include Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime.
